If you stand where the head of the big Hidden Mickey in front of the Mann's Chinese Theater and look towards the Min and Bill's Dockside Diner there is a Hidden Mickey made out of the portholes. You have to be standing in a certain place but if you move around enough you will be able to spot it.CONFIRMED: Brienne Tripp 09 JAN 97CONFIRMED: The Plat Family 14 MAY 97
As you walk past "Min and Bill's Dockside Diner" when you get to a certain angle and look at the round Diner sign, the two portholes on the ship itself align with the Diner sign to form a Hidden Mickey. This is best seen if you are walking between the "islands of trees" and look towards the ship.CONFIRMED: Dr Disney 23 JUN 97

The "head" is a flat oval, the "ears" are too small, and I have a hard time buying a Hidden Mickey that you can only see if you are "standing in a certain place".WISHFUL THINKING: Joy Hogley 26 MAY 98CONFIRMED: Alisa Niethammer 04 SEP 98
The Port Hole Mickey at Min and Bill's Dockside can be seen from a special bench. It apears that this bench was put there for just that purpose. To find it, start at the end of the Brown Derby's canopy and face toward the plaza (Where they're building the giant hat). There is a narrow path directly ahead that leads between 2 planting areas. Walk to the end of this path and you'll see a lone bench on your left. This is the special bench, sit on it and look at Min' and Bill's and you'll see it is positioned perfectly to view the Mickey. As there aren't any other benches around this one, I believe that it was put there just to show off the Hidden Mickey.CONFIRMED: Todd Jacob 06 AUG 01 -- alt report --
